The Rich Suburbs of Dramsticka is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Dolla Dolla Bill with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 15.329 billion Moneyans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moneysburg. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dramstickan economy, worth a remarkable 3,858 trillion Kangas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 251,709 Kangas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,319,818 per year while the poor average 2,750, a ratio of 843 to 1.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, East Lebatuck tests its moon rovers in the barren wasteland of rural Dramsticka, male tourists tend to be fearful of Dramsticka's deadly femme fatales, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dramsticka's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Worship of Cold Hard Cash.

Dramsticka is ranked 7,571st in the world and 1st in Streptococcus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 8,198.39 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
